Louda had a post and described using tinted film on his and mentioned a company with good quality film, worth checking out his post on it

Thanks I will look for it. I would rather use film so I can remove if needed.

Beautiful car and probably the best GTS I’ve seen, any pictures of your interior?

I would love to have such company near I live like your taillights were done ! Outstanding job ! where I live is very strict law against tinting with film windows, taillights, headlights, etc...

And I've posted on another thread what film I've got from well known brand (link below)..... Later bought locally 1 meter of tinted film for few usd and got taillights done, but not after long time had to remove it because of MOT...
and meanwhile I still can pass the same MOT with catless downpipes

The clear section always bothered me on mine before. I felt it was too high on the corners and disrupted the look. Now it looks consistent and hip-py. #Bubblebutt

P.S. glad to see you back, you've been M.I.A. and I've been missing seeing your car
Ah - makes sense. And well, the results definitely don't say "lazy" which is most important. Glad to be back! Been doing more work on the M6 as of late so that's kind of kept me busy. Any other mods you plan to do to your GTS?

really leaning toward the rear diffuser you have and possibly a sprint booster. other than that, really happy with where the car is right now so time to enjoy it.

Although i do need a new horn at some point if that counts lol more of a repair than a mod. sounds pitiful right now when i use it so i just avoid it for the most part

it was an old Go Pro Hero 3 which i have very little experience/ability with. i've been meaning to get out and get some drive by's and launch. maybe this weekend i'll get out make it happen

the x-pipe really wakes up the exhaust though. it definitely turns heads and surprises people when you fire it up and love the sound when driving.

Loving your build, please let us hear some drive by's and launches

Another thing, how loud does it get when not in sport +?

Thanks!

Sound level is the same in normal, sport and sport plus with PSE activated. sound level is relevant to RPM's. without PSE activated, it can be quite civilized

below are a few clips of fabspeed x-pipe on GTS. be patient with video as i was by myself but come back down the other side as well as driving off. didn't realize there was a damn plane flying around that interferes with sound a little bit but you still get a good idea. i will try and go out with someone and get better examples

sport mode normal acceleration

sport plus

launch control
